Why should it matter what your status is if we are all here for the same purpose. We all own and enjoy our Camaro's, some in other ways than others. We share the same interest. We share info when and if we can. I personally won't care if I stay a Newbie or become a Hero one way or another. If I can be of some help in anyway, and someone can use the help I provide, I wouldn't think what status you were would matter. We share a common bond here. Only my opinion folks, don't take it the wrong way...

I don't even look at a members status unless they are making some statements as fact and I question it. You are in a unique position with this web site in that you get emails and PM's from people that help the hobby in several different ways that aren's posted on the web site. I would think that would merrit some consideration but I don't know how you would do it. JMHO

Not that it makes a lot of difference, but I got downgraded from Veteran to newbie. I've read the post and see that your status is now based only on number of post. Like I said, it's not a big deal but I've been a member and visiting and occasionally posting since half of the members here were still in high school. I just hate being classified as a newbie. Please don't let those V6-Berlinetta type guys contaminate this site like they have the other one.

I am brand new here. (Although I bought my first 67 in 1976 ,rs ss 4 speed coupe)And this site is clearly invaluable. It is a Gem. For me personally the names or # of posts don't matter.I appreciate the consideration given to aknowledge those who have been contributing to this great site over a long period of time. Do as you like as far as the names go. If you could describe myself in a name it would be," GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND GLAD TO BE HERE GUY "
